5.0 out of 5 stars A Must For Any Cat Owner Wanting to Use Homeopathy., February 5, 2009

I am currently studying for my Bachelor of Homeopathy and have two cats, and this book is the best that I have read on the subject. It's very informative, practical, and easy to use as a reference text, but it also makes a very interesting read as Dr Wolff gives some amazing insights into feline health and behaviour. After I read it I used one of the recommended remedies on one of my cats who has suffered from gastro-intestinal disease all his life (which is not curable with conventional medicine) and after only 2 doses all his symptoms had disappeared completely and he has been 100% healthy ever since. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to know how to treat their cat using homeopathy.

5.0 out of 5 stars INCREDIBLY USEFUL AND SENSIBLE, November 8, 2010

This review is from: Homeopathy for Your Cat: Remedies for Common Feline Ailments (Paperback)

I think this book may literally have saved my cat's life. I had two 16+ year old siblings, one of whom died 5 months ago of sudden acute kidney failure. Her sister had a problematic set of blood tests a few weeks ago and all the vet could suggest was subQ hydration and low-protein foods that were left uneaten.
The remedy suggestions in this book have made ALL the difference. My senior kitty slurps the meds down in her drinking water and not only has returned to her bouncy self but her blood tests are improving.
The author of this book clearly knows his subject inside and out, and both loves and understands cats and their humans.
I have a little experiential background in homeopathy because I have had friends in the field, but I am no professional and would not attempt to "prescribe" for anyone except myself, but this book is so clear that one can take useful steps. It's very user-friendly, educational enough without overloading and highly practical.
I would recommend this with no hesitation at all.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Beginners Guid to Homeopathic Treatment for Cats, January 27, 2012

This review is from: Homeopathy for Your Cat: Remedies for Common Feline Ailments (Paperback)

I was just beginning homeopathy studies when my cat was dealing with some issues and I bought this book. It's a great beginners guide because it mostly tells you what remedy fits what symptoms and problems best. There are others that also tell you why certain remedies are better or why the symptoms have appeared. They are more expensive, but I think could be a bit overwhelming for a beginning homeopath. If you think of your cats as family, get this book.
